Journalist: Don't Shoot

By Ronnie Lovler

A young reporter chasing a byline becomes a witness to history.

When Ronnie Lovler arrived in Puerto Rico in 1970, journalism was less a grand calling than an uncertain next step. But from the copy desk of The San Juan Star to award-winning investigations, feminist organizing, and the charged politics of a changing island, she found both her voice and her nerve.

That nerve would carry her into the heart of Latin America's upheavals. As a freelancer and later a CNN correspondent, Lovler reported from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Chile, Cuba, Bolivia, and beyond-covering revolutions, elections, invasions, peace accords, and the daily realities of life under pressure. Along the way, she built a family, navigated danger, and learned what it meant to get the story out even when the stakes were life and death.

Candid, vivid, and deeply human, Journalist: Don't Shoot is a memoir of courage, curiosity, and a life spent crossing borders.
